Workplace Drug Testing - Has Your Work Stopped?

Prior to Covid we tested randomly every 3 months. Since 2020 we’ve done 0 random drug testing. We do new employees and any incidents/accidents but no randoms. Its mainly due to finding new (good) employees, hard to find so we don’t want to cause staff shortages via testing.
Curious what other companies are doing.

I have never been randomly drug screened at work. In 2021, when I was hired by my current employer, I didn't even have to take a piss test as part of the background check.

No. Still doing it. I got pulled a couple of months ago.
But I do have a question.
Is anyone changing testing policy with the increase in CBD availability and the fact that it stays in your system so long? THC levels could be increase for weeks after. We lost at least two candidates for employment due to failed testing but things are changing. How is this stuff effecting policy?
ETA: You get high on a Friday night, you are fine Saturday, get pulled on Wednesday and fail. If you had gotten drunk, your job wouldn't be in question. But this causes your termination.

We still do random testing but only for staff that is going to be working on certain client projects in the field. Say we have four, 3 man crews going to work on a Kinder Morgan right-of-way...usually one of those 12 people will get tested. But the do the same for Enterprise and there is no testing at all.

We're subject to randoms, back in 2018 I was pulled for 3 randoms in something like 9 months but none since. Several months back I was telling my wife that I had started to wonder if they'd quit doing randoms and about 2 weeks later I got pulled. Then pulled again about 6 weeks after. Whatever randomizer they use is whack. 
I passed, FYI.

My company (Consulting) doesn't drug test but we frequently get asked when onboarding to new clients, especially insurance companies

If we drug tested we’d probably have to fire 75% of our SWEs. I’ve been here for 6 years and we have never tested.

no test prior to employment and no tests during. company expects us to do our drinking and drugging off the clock. i have to admit the approach is working as far as hiring and retaining quality staff.

Wouldn’t surprise me if a high percentage of these ‘work from home’ cucks wouldn’t be able to pass a drug test.

I've been here since 2018 and although we are subject to random drug test, no one has ever been tested that I know of. My old job tested on the last Tuesday or Thursday of every month.

I have never been drug tested at work in 15 years.
I had to do a drug test with the first company i hired on with out of college before being hired. I haven't done one since, and i've changed companies twice now.

I've been drug tested 1 time in my life and that was when I worked at The Shaw Group way back in like 2001/2002 and it was on the day after the memorial day holiday. Thankfully I didn't go crazy that weekend and tested clean.

At all the O&G companies I worked for it’s still quarterly randoms and term for any kind of fail. Unless you’re related to the right people then you get some paid time off and get to come back with a raise and promotion after you can piss clean again.

I work in accounting and finance, not sure they could even test for it.

Not only did we not stop, we got stricter. The limits are now lower and now instead of getting 24 hours to go to a testing facility, you get called upstairs where there is someone there to immediately administer the test.
